Here are the Republicans who voted against pension reform

State lawmakers in both chambers passed a pension reform bill on Tuesday aimed at addressing our state’s $100 billion pension crisis. The bill, SB1, is estimated to save approximately $160 billion over three decades.

While certainly not perfect, the reform bill passed this week represents a positive step towards solving one of Illinois’ most pressing financial problems. No one claims SB1 solves our state’s financial woes – but passage represents progress in the right direction.

For years Republicans have been crying out for meaningful pension reform while pointing fingers at the Democrats. Well on Tuesday we learned which Republicans are serious and who is just as in bed with the unions as the worst Democrat.
